TELO Trucks, known for creating the world’s most efficient electric pickup truck, aims to offer an affordable yet powerful EV solution for those seeking a sustainable choice in the pickup market. The TELO MT1, which is designed to meet the needs of work and play, now comes with new trim options, including a just-announced second powertrain. The truck will be available in eight colorways, providing ample choice to suit diverse preferences. As part of their #CyberMonday holiday shopping campaign, TELO is also highlighting its accessible price points.
To make the buying process more engaging, TELO has released a specially-designed mobile configurator, allowing buyers to personalize the MT1 according to their preferences. This tool aligns with TELO’s mission to accelerate electric vehicle adoption by making the experience both creative and user-friendly. Despite varied configurations, each TELO MT1 promises the same high efficiency, safety, and sustainable design that has drawn attention since the company emerged from stealth mode in 2023.
Originally launched with a dual-motor compact pickup at $49,999, the new single-motor variant starts at just $41,520. This standard-range MT1 is competitively priced while offering luxury-level comfort, maneuverability, and functionality, all within a smaller footprint than traditional full-sized trucks.
With over 3,700 pre-orders already secured, TELO’s announcement comes as the company prepares for its 2025 press-ready launch. The company’s co-founder and CTO, Forrest North, remarked, “Having been on the forefront of clean mobility since engineering the EV battery pack in the first Tesla Roadster, I know it’s possible for automakers to offer drivers an affordable electric vehicle that goes further than simply cutting carbon emissions. It’s about giving them a revolutionary vehicle design that’s safer, more sustainable, more functional and also fun to drive.”
